SECTION C Answer ALL the questions. Write your answers in the spaces provided. 24 The +6 oxidation state There are many compounds that contain an element in the +6 oxidation state, when six of the elements electrons are used in bonding. Similarities exist between sulfur(VI) compounds and chromium(VI) compounds. 2, while For example, sulfur forms sulfate(VI) ions, SO4 2. The ions chromium forms chromate(VI) ions, CrO4 with corresponding formulae have the same shape. 2, and disulfate(VI) ions, S2O7 2, and dichromate(VI) ions, Cr2O7 Other transition metal compounds exist with the metal in oxidation state +6. Potassium manganate(VI), K2MnO4, can be prepared in alkaline solution but it readily disproportionates in neutral or acidic solution. Potassium ferrate(VI), K2FeO4, is obtained by heating iron filings with potassium nitrate and then pouring the cooled mixture into water. 2. (a) (i) Draw a dot and cross diagram for a sulfate(VI) ion, SO4 2.

 (iii) Many sulfate(VI) compounds are soluble in water. However, lead(II) sulfate(VI) is sparingly soluble. 0.0500 g of lead(II) sulfate(VI), PbSO4, was mixed with 250.0 cm3 of water. Calculate the mass of undissolved lead(II) sulfate(VI) in this mixture. Data: molar mass of PbSO4 = 303.3 g mol1 solubility of lead(II) sulfate(VI) = 1.26 x 104 mol dm3 (b) (i) Sodium disulfate(VI) decomposes on heating to form only two products: sodium sulfate(VI) and an oxide of sulfur in oxidation state +6. Write the equation for this decomposition. State symbols are not required. (2) (1) (ii) Ammonium dichromate(VI) decomposes on heating to form chromium(III) oxide, nitrogen and water.

 (d) The mass of ethanol in 5.00 cm3 of white wine is found by oxidising the ethanol to ethanoic acid using acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution. The excess acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution is then determined. Step 1 Step 2 5.00 cm3 of white wine was diluted to 100.0 cm3 with distilled water. 10.0 cm3 of acidified potassium dichromate(VI) solution, of concentration 0.0150 mol dm3, was placed in a conical flask with 1.00 cm3 of the diluted white wine and left until all the ethanol had been completely oxidised. 10 cm3 (an excess) of potassium iodide solution was added to the flask to react with the remaining potassium dichromate(VI) solution. The iodine produced was titrated with 0.0300 mol dm3 sodium thiosulfate solution. The procedure was repeated twice more. Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 The mean titre of sodium thiosulfate solution was 9.20 cm3.
